Hi,

Got a new MacBookPro with Lion pre-installed.

Downloaded 11.0.834, license manager retrieved the apprentice tokens fine and it shows up as valid.

Started both Master and Escape, both fail to get the license and repeated ask to get new licenses.

Any ideas? Was hoping to demonstrate Houdini to colleagues after the SIGGRAPH trip.

Are you sure you didn't make a mistake when installing ? Apprentice HD doesn't use license server, and you must choose ‘Apprentice license’ when installing and not ‘Install license server’.

Thanks for the heads up.

On my older machine (with Snow Leopard) the installation does not seem to bother with the choices.

I have now reinstall and ensure that I tick the correct check box and have both Apprentice Master and Escape working.
